Watch your power usage. With large windowed VSCode or Cursor, you will see far higher CPU and GPU usage by WindowServer and more system power consumption. It’s easier if you track it with stats.app.

The crypto exchange I built 11 years ago is still pretty dense. New users don't love it, but I do. We set the standard. https://www.bitmex.com/app

Arguably, especially in the 8/10/11 era, few of these features are things that meaningfully enhance the user experience. Incredibly, we're still running NTFS and dealing with hacks on hacks on hacks. In the 8 era, a huge nu

I 100% agree. Just wait until you hear about NYPD challenge coins. [1] Pg. 21 shows us a coin that celebrates an absolutely despicable story where the NYPD forcibly committed a whistleblower to a mental hospital. 1. https://resea

Does lead exposure have a "horrifying" story? It has measurable effects over years and decades, but very little acute effect.

100%. Flow always had some great safety features and some complex type combinators. But the churn in the project and lack of non-FB participation made it hard to recommend.

Flowtype works like this out of the box. In my opinion, it's a much better default.

Your comment is mostly on point, but the download speeds are way off. By the time Flash was really getting big, everyone was on 56k, (rarely) ISDN, or ~1mbps broadband of one type or another. But even with 56k, you're getting 5kBps. So

This is good advice, although it made me chuckle a bit that he in fact recommends removing years entirely, but then still has (c) 2021 on the footer. I'm always in favor of removing lawyer boilerplate though.

We have a unique one: back before the z1d launched, we had a critical system that was very single-threaded and its performance drove revenue in an extremely direct way. So we were, deep in the shit, fighting fires due to our systems being

It shouldn't work this way. Customer funds should be segregated from whatever prop trading the rest of the business is doing. The only way this happens is if the prop trading business is over-leveraged somehow and the exchange bailed i

There are multiple tells that this move, just like the removal of radar, is supply-chain and cost-driven and not actually driven by engineering. If this were a planned move, the software would already be ready to replace it. It is not. Cars

So what's the working theory here? Does the shrinkage allow new attachments to grow, essentially a "re-wiring" that causes the mother and father to focus on the child more than the rest of their lives? Anecdotally, I feel tha

Looks like that's just for the 5.4GHz chip. To hit 6GHz, it's probably going to be this 350W (!!!) turbo mode. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-raptor-lake-to-featu...

Oh, man. This hits home. I wrote a bunch of libraries for public consumption with Flowtype - Facebook's competitor to TS, which was dominant circa 2016 - and there was very little on "advanced types" available to us. React ty

Correct. This makes benchmarks, at least on thermally limited machines like laptops, very unreliable. High-quality review sites like notebookcheck spend a lot of time dealing with this by doing prolonged benchmarks and measuring thermals. A

Turbo will move the processor above the rated TDP when there is thermal headroom to do so. Turning it off means you'll max out at the rated TDP. Now, TDP used to mean the max power of the chip, but as Intel's process failures le

Compression and snapshots indeed are the largest improvements I see, as well as an order-of-magnitude higher performance. If your applications already rely on ZFS snapshots, filesystems, quotas, reservations, compression, etc. - this is a p

These engineers are actual ex-Tesla technicians, so it's a bit more than half-assing it.

These are great, I just don't understand why Apple can't put a single camera that is 1/4 this quality into any of its $1000+ laptops.

If you have two monitors, this doesn't make much difference. I'm at 19W with HiDPI off and 20.2W with it on, with 2x 2560x1440 Dell U2515HXs.

I find that American society as a whole is surprisingly complacent to the fact that a coup was attempted on January 6, 2021, to the fact that a majority of the Republican House voted to invalidate a free & fair election with the intent

Not quite equal. At its peak Bitcoin Cash was about 25% of Bitcoin, and at a much lower price too. If you reinvested it at exactly the right time, you could multiply total yield by 1.25, but that's a big if.

At 24 Wh/kg, it's going to take a lot of this to produce an amount of storage relevant to the needs of a vehicle, and that's ignoring the very high cost of the material. For instance, the Alfa Romeo 4C had an (expensive) al

OSX is going to be better for Node development. There are still many projects that assume a POSIX environment when you build them, and I assume you're deploying on Linux. You can mitigate this if you run Node solely in WSL, but it stil
